I normally stay off this board; however, this post requires a warning. If you use any type of balancing crap such as equal or any type of puncture repair such as fix a flat, you will destroy the air pressure sensor inside the tire. As those products adhere to everything and also seal up holes, they also seal up the pressure sensor.
If the machine can handle a large tire and wheel assembly, and the tire/wheels on the H3 (including off-road package tires) are not that large compared to others, it can balance the tire/wheel assembly.
This stuff goes right up there with the engine cleaning chemicals that can destroy engine seals over a period of time.
The Hunter GSP 9700 is probably the best machine manufactured (today), and a load force is great, but may not be required for these types of tires if you are not having vibration or tracking problems. Load force balancing is great for cars with very sensitive steering like Vettes, Vipers, Lexus, etc.
But if you want the best, get a load force. If you don't need a load force, just get a balance on a GSP 9700. Also important, make sure the guy or gal running the GSP knows how to use the machine.
